The footprints left on the ground were messy, and there were traces of broken branches in several directions.

However, based on the speculation of scattered traces of blood on the ground, Loki's basic tracking technique still judged the direction in which the orc robbers had taken the captives away.

Loki said, holding his hand up, pointing in a northerly direction.

"In that direction, the orc robbers should have left not long ago, there are still blood stains on the ground that have not completely dried up, and no beasts have been here. ”

"Then let's hurry up and hit the road, I think these members of the Iron Shield Adventure Group are about to lose their time. ”

This two-handed axe-wielding adventurer, named Nest Bear, is said to have a bit of savage blood and is a short-tempered and unpopular lone ranger.

"Wait. Quan Feng called out to the people who were about to leave, and in the cuffs of his wide robe, a small beast like a milk dog, with gray-white fur somewhat like a wolf.

Nest Bear wondered, "What are you waiting for?"

"Smell the smell of this place carefully and see where the smell is going. ”

The gray-white wolfdog beast, as if it could feel what the spring wind was saying, jumped to the ground and immediately sniffed around, and after a while, the wolfdog beast also barked in the direction of the north.

The sound was somewhat like that of a fox, and Loki was unheard of, but he didn't know what kind of animal the druid's apprentice was carrying.

Quan Feng summoned back the wolf dog beast, and then said, "It's in this direction, the half-elf is right......

Several members of the Forest Ranger's Adventure Group glanced at the half-elf, a little surprised by his acuity.

Now that the direction has been determined, there is no need to hesitate, and the adventurers follow the northerly direction and burrow into the dense jungle one after another......

The jungle vegetation is relatively dense, but because the road ahead is walked by tall orc bandits, it also faintly looks like a small tunnel.

Everyone lowered their heads slightly, following the clues and chasing, and the speed was not much slower.

Loki took advantage of his hurry and approached the Forester's Adventure Pack.

Quan Feng frowned, looked at the half-elf and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

The tone was a little wrong, and Loki didn't know if he had offended him at any point, but he sensed that the druid apprentice seemed to be a little disgusted with him.

However, the half-elf didn't notice it at all on the surface, and exclaimed, "Captain Quanfeng, I feel admired for your spirit of helping each other as an adventurer. ”

"I hope that when I get back, I invite everyone in the Forest Ranger Adventure Party to have a drink at the Shiny Gold Tavern. ”

The druid apprentice's expression eased slightly, and his tone was still a little stiff, "It's nothing, in addition to adventurers, I am also a druid apprentice, and I will lend a helping hand to my companions." ”

"Alright, don't talk when you're in a hurry, and try to save your stamina, half-elf. ”

You're welcome, you're commanding me as if I were your own member, Loki pouted secretly.

Nest Bear sneered on the side: "Half-elf, it turns out that you are not popular with people either......"

After chasing for more than two hours, although it was not running, the terrain in the dense forest was relatively complicated, and some adventurers began to have physical strength that could not keep up.

When traveling and tracking, in the spatial visual effects, there is no trace of it, Loki thought for a moment and reminded out loud.

"Slow down, reserve your stamina, we shouldn't be far from this group of orc bandits. ”

The members of the Iron Shield Adventure Group who walked in the middle had experienced a fight in the morning, but after such a long journey in the afternoon, they were already tired and sweating.

Hearing Loki's words, they slowed down and gradually stopped.

Quan Feng shook his head, glanced around, and said, "No need, I will find these orcs in advance, the most important thing for us now is not to let Captain Benson have any accidents." ”

Loki frowned, sensing the stubbornness of the druid apprentice, but he wasn't wrong.

Maybe the druid really has the magic to communicate with animals, and he can use the wolfdog little beast in his sleeve to detect those orcs and orc scouts first.

"Don't underestimate this gang of bandits, there may be an orc scout among them. ”

I couldn't help but remind that when Loki was in the Forest of Secret Words, he had encountered an orc scout and almost died at that time.

The strong orcs only rely on their physical racial talents, and they have the standard of apprentices before they are adults, and after being selected to become an orc army scout, they have almost reached the level of a first-order professional, and he can't help but be impressed.

followed, and there was another fork in the road ahead.

Not a fork in the road, but in the dense forest, the orc robbers went in different directions, leaving traces of two paths.

Loki confirmed, and immediately said, "The orc robbers rested here, and then divided into two groups, both directions are true......"

The dwarf stump looked in two directions and asked anxiously, "What about Captain Benson, which direction is he in?"

Loki hesitated a little, but fortunately, there was a little beast with a keen sense of smell, and the spring wind communicated with it, confirming that it was the direction to the left.

The half-elf praised: "This little wolf dog is really good. ”

A human female thief, passing by the half-elf, said with a smile: "This is the Minai Wolf Beast, the pet of our Spring Wind Leader, not a little wolf dog. ”

'Minai Beast', Loki was impressed by the name.

The wizard's book "Plants and Monsters Illustrated Chapter" in memory storage has illustrations of this animal as an adult, and it has a keen sense of smell, but the biggest feature is that this animal can speak human language when it becomes an adult, that is, the lingua franca.

It is worthy of being a druid apprentice, and Loki heard from others before that Izumi Feng is also an apprentice of a druid master, but unfortunately he has not been able to talk.

After a long while, Izumi Wind caressed Mina's wolf, as if they had a heart-to-heart communication with each other.

"The smell is strong, it's strong, everyone take a rest, the orc robbers are not far away. ”

A few risk-takers, who carried a lot of weight, sat down on their butts, drinking some water and eating while recovering their strength.

Loki and the female thief sneaked into the jungle and went up to find out what was going on.

Quintina gently brushed aside the bushes, not making a sound.

She looked at the half-elf figure in front of her, keeping her stealth just as quiet, but she couldn't help but be surprised.

For this half-elf really did not look like a thief, dressed in dense leather armor, and carrying a heavy round shield, with a one-handed sword hanging from his waist, and even a steel crossbow in his hand.

In the rude orc language that they couldn't understand in front of them, the two of them pushed aside the bushes and found seven or eight orc robbers in tattered clothes, all with captured sophisticated weapons in their hands.

Quintina whispered, "Is that Captain Benson?"

Loki nodded, dark brown hair and thick beard, the head of Benson, who was born as an ordinary shield warrior, although he had never seen it, but he heard that it was him.

He lowered his voice and said, "I took a closer look, there are no orc scouts around, you go and inform them to come over quickly, and I will continue to observe here first." ”

Quintina glanced at the half-elf, a little distrustful, but she retreated the way she had been told and found someone to join her here.
